#im team elliot this time lol

[ch1an1]

see, haley can be a sweetie pie (convincing myself). i feel bad dancing with her in my stinky clothes.

[puphoods]

im interestedin your zombie and superpower worlds..

SMILES SO BIG this took me ages omfg sorry

im gonna do it in order zombies -> zombie superpowers -> superpowers okay. i realised u maybe just meant the one thats both im not sure? but i already typed most of this up so too bad

first up egressregress babeyyyy we all know... i think its set in like. the 2000s/early 2010s... there was a poorly handled viral outbreak that caused zombies to happen etc. its pretty much your typical "society is broken down the government fell everythings a free for all" situation. theres pockets of civilization but much, much more small and scattered, there are areas with few or no people, there are areas that are controlled by certain groups or factions, etc. there is some form of self appointed government out there but they ghave no far reaching control.

the characters the story centers around are mostly isolated- they live close by but still a distance away from a well known main road that leads to an area controlled by the "government" and other safe zones and so is often traveled. cooper, dahlia, and elliot are somewhat a group, but they fucking hate each other so bad and they all suck.

the zombies themselves are pretty generic. disease spread via bite it over the course of days to maybe two weeks at most with no intervention degrades the body and eats away at the brain. theyre slow moving, generally die partway into the disease progression, and move out of instinct. theres not much of a focus on the zombies themselves in the story, but they do play a part in the mindset and morality of cooper

THA SECOND ONE my furry zombie superpowers world. smiles. so this is like my newest ocs so i genuinely dont have much but its one that i really really enjoy bc its very self indulgent lol. its... i want to say kind of futuristic? but its a different world as well so. like its not Futuristic but its set in a world w technology + stuff slightly more advanced than ours. its like Furry World. u get it

theres a very small subset of people who have or develop powers. it is there is a genetic factor to it but i dont really have that thought out yet... typically they develop around puberty but can and do develop at any time in someones life

the story starts at the onset of a zombie outbreak- there are very, very few cases, but it is widespread, and extremely dangerous. id say its been like a few months since the first case... the main characters are a part of a team sent out to investigate and study the disease in an attempt to figure out how it spreads and try to find a cure, or at least prevent it from spreading further. the main character, leah, is a "scientist" on this team- shes the one leading the research for her group. leah has powers that appear very similar to the physical symptoms of the disease. shes trying her hardest to keep it under wraps while they investigate, and desperately hoping that there is no link between her and the outbreak

leahs powers are... bio-manipulation? essentially. she cannot alter the mind but can do a lot of crazy shit to the body

the virus ive actually thought about this one pretty in depth okay hold on. its spread through body fluids primarily and is asymptomatic + will remain such unless its exposed to someone with a symptomatic infection (generally via bite but can also be spread through body fluids). if youre bitten by someone with a symptomatic case and you dont have the virus youll just die no zombie mess it iwll kill u... the progression of the disease once "activated" (idk) is slow it generally takes minimum a week before it reaches its final stage but usually takes closer to 2, with 4 weeks being the longest it can take. it causes rapid physical growth + mutations, mostly additional body parts, and causes a huge increase in metabolic processes and how much fuel the body needs that eating enough food is almost impossible, and it starts eating at the body and brain pretty quickly. eventually the person dies but the body is still driven on by the disease until it eats itself alive, and is unable to function anymore. common mutations are just growth of the body and replication of body parts, especially teeth, fingers, and stomachs, but it also commonly duplicates limbs eyes other organs etc. (SECRAT ACTUAL PLOT POINT SPOILER) in the circumstance the body mutates in a way that lets it take in larger amounts of food (more stomachs mouths teeth) and has access to enough food, for example a group of people dedicated to feeding it, it can, theoretically, grow forever. eventually the mutations will be so severe it will be unrecognizable as having been a person and can no longer move. itd be pretty much impossible to keep one fed for more than a year or so unless you were feeding it like. a ridiculous amount of meat.

last storuy ok the superpowers one. i dont have much additional to say wrt the powers than i did in the other post but i can tell u about the people... i actually have a fair few characters for this one but the story centers on adrienne. adrienne is a teenage girl with kinetic manipulation powers, she can store and use kinetic energy which generally comes out as some find of explosive force or something like that. i really am not happy with her story because shes a very old character now so i need to rework it a lot. some other characters:

kasey- a young woman with healing powers who was working as an EMT when her powers developed. she resents her powers and has the same mentor as adrienne, theyre narrative foils, etc.

sonar- adrienne and kaseys mentor. hes ex superhero + regrets his time as a hero, and is trying to get the girls on track. he doesnt want anything to do with the whole hero and villain sort of scene anymore but feels obligated to keep the others safe

longshot- ^sonars ex husband lol. hes a hero turned villain, in part because of their falling out, but bc of a lot of other things too. he has really good eyesight and shoots people. with guns

roulette, copycat, 2 more unnamed characters- a small villain group that are involved in the plot and that adrienne gets involved with while shes trying to do...whatever i decide she ends up doing in her new story. they arent anything serious and mostly just rob banks and shit

[storiesofsvu]

it's thursday bitches

spoilers under the cut

Okay, I was organizing fic and writing shit for the first two hours so I couldn’t live react BUT:

That ep of Mothership was phenomenal. Good job team.

Barely paid attention to Toronto, I can’t get on board yet.

Now it’s SVU time.

“happy hunting” ewww… puke in my mouth, that’s disgusting.

Girl WHAT THE FUCK. I don’t care if you JUST met someone at a hostel that night, you don’t fucking leave them alone in a bar when they’re visibly really drunk and with two guys all over her, come on.

Okay, I’m starting a Velasco line tally: 1

OOOO a full scene! Look at our boy go!

Okay yeah he is finally getting some screen time

These boy may not be the actual perps in this situation, but there is no doubting they’re pieces of shit.

This is gonna be one of those cases with the last minute twist that the other girl is the actual perp, right? That’s why there’s no dna?

I don’t like this squad. I understand rollins not coming back/kelli not wanting to come back (hello, she just had a baby, and would you want to go back to a workplace you were fired from full time?) but I will forever be salty about them getting rid of muncy and churlish, they FIT with the squad, they worked through their issues and worked well together. It was refreshing to have the younger generation coming in and being mentored by liv, fin and Bruno. I like the fbi girl, she’s a great actress, but the vibe isn’t the same.

Ohhhh I forgot about the other guy from the beginning lol

Okay but I DO love three powerful older women interrogating pathetic young twenty something boys

LOOOL and this dynamic of good cop bad cop between Bruno and joe?! LOVE IT.

Bruno is fucking killing me rn, this is hilarious. Prime television.

The fact that there is still another hour of television after this? I’m TIRED. And like..grey’s starts soon too so that’s gonna fuck me up.

This episode has fully sold me on wanting Bruno to destroy me. Sir. Pls.

Something that fell into your lap?! Liv…baby… you wanted to take in every abandoned kid at svu over the past 25 years. You were the mom calvin deserved, you wanted to adopt, you have ALWAYS wanted kids/to be a mother, its been part of her character arc literally the entire time the show was on air. Yes, technically noah kinda fell into her lap, but the way it was addressed here did not seem right lol.

Okay, that episode was actually super good compared to the last few weeks!

Don’t trust this captain at ALL. but like, I don’t think we’re supposed to LOL.

“I don’t know… im not his mother.. thank GOD” lol… we love Jet.

I miss bell…is she gonna pop up at some point? We need her sass/banter

The fact that she went out to do this super nice thing by replacing the flowers for jet cause she let her stay with her and THAT’S when she was attacked. Fuck this. Ugh.

The fact that they’re going through so much effort to block the face/voice of this killer means that we know who they are already, right?

BUT also… if the captain hadn’t called jet specifically to get Elliot to his fucking iab appointment she would have been home and able to protect the girl… so like… im still super sus of her

All of these crusty old white men all look alike and I cannot tell the difference between them. Is it the cap’s dad? Brother? Husband? Random poker night connection?

DIVORCE???!!!! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

…okay but now they could be together somewhere down the road? Like.. they really did bomb us with that ship so I haven’t had time to decide if I like it or not but we’ll see how things go.

Okay so the brother AND the dad are both in on it? Maybe the cap isn’t actually sus and will be blindsided?

Meh, that ep wasn’t that good tonight tbh but two outta our aint bad!

[fangirlies]

Hi, bestie~ it's me :^) how are you doing?

I'm relieved that you understand my dilemma with time. I swear it seems like I just recently enrolled into college and now I'm soon graduating it... wtf... you're so right about habits, but it has to be so hard :( it's like, you know that going for a walk is good for you and you'll be happy after it, but you still can't lift your ass up and go. But I'm going to try, start small and then see how it goes. I just hope that this time I'll achieve something with it.

Oof... The infamous Coleen Hoover... I don't want to bash anyone. Okay, take it with a grain of salt and see it for yourself, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it to you. Her books, for some unknown reason that I cannot fathom, got so overhyped on booktook that it really makes me question things and my taste. But at the same time so much shit gets popular on tiktok, so I don't question it. I tried reading them, but they're so not for me: her storytelling, her characters and their actions. It's all just soooo questionable. I'd rather recommend you Pattie Smith, if you haven't read anything by her. She is great. But really, see it for yourself with Coleen Hoover, maybe she is just not my cup of tea. BESTIE THE BOOKSHELVES. I long abandoned them and now live like a chaotic academy character, suits me right. The books lie everywhere...

SEE! 2 is already a party! I suggest you join our ksavje team - it sounds cooler and like a name for an artist😎💅. Our version screams taste hahaha. No shade to exzavier dog lovers - you do you guys😇 But honestly no shit this dude is a tortured brooding lone wolf of an artist - I would be to with the way people pronounce his name💀 AND ksavie sounds cuter!! Team ksavje on god🤘

- elliot anon

Hi hi! I’m doing good! I woke up, chose chaos, made an edit and did some writing and now I’m on my way to splurge and buy some more house decor. How are u doing lovely?

I’m rooting for you bestie! You can do anything you put your mind to! I, too, wish I were a ‘im going on a hot girl walk’ type of girly lol.

AH you see, that’s why I haven’t started any of the Coleen Hoovers books. I’ve seen it all over booktok and was like hm maybe I should give it a try. But the people I actually know who enjoy reading say it’s mid. But then I saw they’re making one into a movie and I was like damn maybe I should jump on the hype before the movie. Now you’ve confirmed it. I won’t even waste my time. I’ll definitely look into Pattie Smith! & LOL I was living like a chaotic academy character for so long that I had to change my ways!

It does sound like a cool, bad ass, mysterious name not going to lie. I just can’t say it 😅 I think it’s my Spanish accent that won’t allow me to actually pronounce it. The tana mongeau reference at the end 💀 I’m crying.

[orangeafternoonluvr]

i just started reading elliot page's memoir, and something he said that i really resonate with is: "Coming out as queer was a wholly different experience from coming out as trans, and who I am evolved as I freed myself from the expectations of others."

i sometimes find myself going back and watching old high school performances, mainly those of my precision dance team (think cheerleader vibes with rockette dance moves). and for the past few years, this going back in time has helped me to unpack my queerness which was buried so deeply in high school. (even when i'd be doing outwardly queer things like, idk, making out w a girl in the hallway, id be like BUT IM STRAIGHT lol).

anyway, i find myself watching these videos again, but this time i feel some grief for girlhood. mainly how hard i performed it because i wanted to be accepted and liked. being on this dance team reinforced that so fucking hard because it was all the *popular girls* and then me, "that girl," as they referred to me once before proceeding to ignore me for the next few years.

but anyway, this is all to say that i feel this experience of exploring my gender is so completely separate from my queerness, and yet i don't think i could've felt comfortable exploring my gender without having explored my queerness. and somehow this is all happening as i watch myself pretending to be who i'm not underneath the stadium lights, kicking my legs above my head toward the night sky.

[mistyechoes]

alright fuck you im gonna talk abt my pkmn region and There Is Nothing You Can Do About It

well. tbh this is more like notes and concepts but shut. shut up

okay so... evil team is probably gonna be less cartoonish than the actual games. i kinda want it to reflect some real world problems, so. capitalism it is. but a lot of the team doesn't even support the boss or the plans, they just really really need the money..

also the region is based on new zealand cuz wow that place gets no attention. plus it's geographic features are really good for a pkmn region so

these notes are so messy. the legendary is probably gonna be like... super powerful, and so the evil team leader wants that cuz. well idk they just want the legendary. i think i had it so that the only way to stop them would be to get there first, but im still not 100 on their plan

oh yea protags. they look basically the same except one is masc and the other is fem, here are their designs (the leggings will just be plain black but this will probably be an option in the shops)

fem's name is junie, masc's name is elliot

honestly i have literally nothing with their story but i think they'll probably be more of their own characters? like ill give them a personality in cutscenes and stuff. but i have no idea anything about backstories or anything yet

i already have another character and, as all of my first characters go, she's basically a self insert and it is stressing me out. here she is

not a final design, but i do like it. the emo bangs are staying

her name is nova, she is Not Great with people but a lot better with pokemon. actually wait i have a chr sheet for her hold on

wow this is horrible to read. i am so sorry

she also has an arcanine that helped save her from said near death incident.

anyways i get way too focused on characters and not story. im gonna continue doing that cuz there's one more

haven't actually got a lot for this guy but im thinking he is sort of mean sometimes. but other times he's nice. at the end he's probably gonna have to go with the evil teams plan for some reason but he's super conflicted because you've all been so nice and maybe he doesn't want to see people suffer.

but anyways. more on the region.

im trying to figure out a way to counter the problem with fire types in this region, in worried that if you pick the fire started youll just have The Easiest Time Ever; there's an ice, bug, and steel gym. for the ice gym you have sto climb a really cold mountain and *need* a fire type in order to Not Die. so id really need to balance it out with something. but idk what to do about that rn so.

new zealand sort of has a tiny little island under it and so i think maybe there could be a ghost town there. ghost gym too, maybe a castle of something, lots of ghost types and maybe some lore. maybe that's where you meet nova...

and the north island of nz is probably a lot smaller in the region. it's probably a little bit farther away, and would have to take a cinematic boat ride lol. probably explain some lore there too, talk about the team and maybe some of the characters life. idk lol im not great at storytelling

anyways ill probably add to this later. if you actually stayed by and read this i am. shocked and very happy. if you did do you have any feedback? i am uh..not great at this

[sleepymouses]

tagged by @littlepetbee, thank uuuu <3 i spent way too long thinking about htis lol,

Rules: pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions, tag a bunch o ppls to do it too (if y’all want to, supes no pressure or anything!)

Natsume yuujinchou  (a teenage orphan who sees spirits/monsters sets out to free the spirits who were bound in magical contract by his grandmother after he inherits a powerful book, aided primarily by a spirit who appears as an exasperated fat cat (who is just as fun as he sounds). Titular character is like my Fave boy in the whole world, he’s so kind and soft despite all the hardships he’s faced, the series has very gentle pacing/character development, and each episode is a carefully crafted lil story that have often moved me to tears, chuckles, or outright chinhands of fondness as u watch natsume slowly find a home in the world and amongst the humans &spirits around him. big focus on friendships, there’s like no romance with any of the main characters, lots of cool different creatures (most of whom arent all that scary once u get to know them), its just literally everything i could ever dream for in a show and it exists! <3)

Leverage (team of modern day robin hoods ruin rich peoples’ lives via  delightfully crafted spy cons to give back to the regular folks the rich people hurt. Extremely good, strong found family vibes, and v cathartic)

Brooklyn 99 (follows diverse cast of character who make up a NY precinct. Hilarious, immensely wholesome & groundbreaking, & probs the most lighthearted crime show besides like psych tbh)

Blackspot/Zone Blanche (spoopy french/belgium crime series set in a small village way out in the mountains surrounded by misty, mysterious and murdery woods. eerie and atmospheric, but also like one of my fave characters (everyone calls him teddy bear) keeps a pet guinea pig at work, so it’s not entirely grim and bleak)

Longmire (a modern western crime drama centering around the titular sheriff and others in their small town wyoming county, well written and lot of chracter development revealed alongside some really good case mysteries bc i love trying to figure out whodunits apparently based on a book series well adored by dads btw)

who is your favorite character in 2? (leverage) ahhh,,, this is hard... Eliot maybe? like Hardison is baby ofc, but i relate to elliot a ton (i think if i was on a team i would want to be the hitter tbh?) and love the subversion of so many action hero tropes that he is, also endlessly amused by how very put upon he is despite all his rad/random skills

who is your least favorite character in 1? (natsume yuujinchou) oh seiji matoba for sure, he can go eat a mouldy tree stump. absolutely evil nasty dude

what is your favorite episode of 4? (blackspot) the end of the road. great opening, didnt end up too devastating unlike a lot of the cases, Hermann was gr8, cool twist i hadnt super expected in the plot which was neat.

what is your favorite season of 5? (longmire) probs 1, walter reeally started to piss me off being Such A Man in later seasons, also me being extremely anxious about Henry and his life choices later, that creepy stalker storyline starting up with Someone and when Someone else in the main cast got died really suddenly and upsettingly later on as well, also when a weird relationship started between some of the characters that i really aint feeling so. before all that happened was nice (also sorry if this is super vague, im trying to avoid spoilers)

who is your favorite couple in 3? (B99) Besides Jake/Amy and Holt/Kevin (bc oviously theyre gr8) uh.. i know it was a long time ago and didnt last very long, but i thought rosa and marcus were really sweet? it brought another layer out to her character, even when they broke up that helped rosa starting to show emotional vulnerability and all, even tho it ended it was still just, idk, i liked them.

who is your favorite couple in 2? (leverage) Does trio count, cos Parker/Eliot/Harding 4 life yo

what is your favorite episode of 1? (natsume yujinchou) i have sooo many faves ahhh!!! i dont think i could pick just one on pain of death, every episode is acrefully cosntructed gem all on its own and i have too many that i love and adore to pick jsut one :((

what is your favorite episode of 5? (longmire) Dog soldier!! ive rewatched that one a ton, so so many good bits, really satisfying resolution of the case despite the shitty system that was revealed, and i rmr getting chills by the end the first time i saw it.

what is your favorite season of 2? (leverage) i guess season 1? just, idk, everything being set up and watching all these grumpies/less grumpies who have no plans to stay together start working together as a baby team, and just the joy of seeing their first heist together with the first plot twist, just.. such a delight, but all seasons that ive seen so far were all excellent, it’s a stellar show

how long have you watched 1? (natsume yujinchou) oh idk exactly, like years and years man... defs the longest out of all on this list

how did you become interested in 3? (b99) i think it was just on netflix way back in season 1 and i started watching it, loved it and never stopped? i think that might have even been before it got rlly popular lol

who is your favorite actor in 4? (blackspot) i dont rlly know any of these french peeps? but teddybear’s one of my fave characters, so hopefully the person who plays him is also cool, in which case hubert delattre (if not, Suliane Brahim does a v good job as the lead)

which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5? (natsume yujinchou, leverage or longmire) um... real torn between natsume and leverage here, they’re both such lovely gems that do found family so, so well.. leverage is a team of modern robin hood-esque spies with brilliant writing and exciting heists and multiple delightful plot twists every episode and great character building and so much catharticism in ruining evil rich peoples lives.

but natsume’s title character is one of my very favorite characters ever, hes been through so much but he becomes the most kindest and thoughtful boy ever, and its so, so soft and gentle in its development of characters and their slow build of getting to know each other and becoming friends, and the interactions with the paranormal world are very rarely entirely malicious/scary, and there’s pretty well no romance, at least like no romance for plot/with the main characters anyways, and there’s lots of female characters who have important roles but arent sexualized/killed off for man feels/exist for romo (which sadly cannot be said about a lot of media, especially manga/anime tbh, even leverage does not win entirely on that front).. its defintiely my favorite anime ever (i dont watch loads, but literally no other one can ever come close to topping its perfection),

i guess tho, leverage is over, and natsume is still technically ongoing, so i guess for that then i have to go with natsume?

which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? (natsume yuujinchou or b99) Natsume for sure, they’re so short its easy to power thru like half a season in an afternoon

if you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? (blackspot) i would probably want to be someone who didnt live in villefranche actually haha uh, it’s a pretty spoopity place.. even some of the characters i do like make some Bad decisions that are v bothersome. Dr. Leila barami seems to have a good head on her shoulders tho, so if i Must be a character here then let’s go with her

would a crossover between 3 and 4 work? (b99 or blackspot) oh god... the cheery upbeat department at the 99 meet up with a grim, misty tiny mountain forest village with bleak day to day life, solving crimes amidst small town paranoia and weird maybe cult-related conspiracies and honestbhly something/s paranormal and menacing going on in the woods?? i just... cant see any of the characters even interacting lol, im just picturing jake’s confused befuddled face when he hears something weird but like x 10000

pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple? (natsume yujinchou) hm... i mean, one of the things i love about Natsume is that there arent really any romo relationships tbh? at least not with any of the main characters in the main storyline (so far), just like the odd one-off of minor characters (and takashi’s adopted parents ofc, but that’s different). so, yeah, i cant really think of one (although i think the big fandom fave ship of takashi and his worst enemy is rlly.. nope, and i dont know what’s going on there? takashi and tanama however, that would make sense, tho it is not unlikely so i cant answer this question with them)

overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5? (b99 or longmire) b99! cos ya know my annoyances with some of the stuff happening later on in longmire lol, b99 just got better n better as it went along, and it’s still going :’)

which has the better theme music, 2 or 4? (leverage or blackspot) blackspot has a real good eerie atmospheric theme which is gr8 and i love it <3 (leverage’s tune is like, elevator music/cheesy jazzy spy tune, which does suit it tho lol)

and idk, anyone bored and stuck at home who wants to do this? no pressure if ur like nah but if u wanna go ahead.... @creepy-friend-of-darkness @anna-wa @rhinky-thingz @rexbasileus @aeolian-harp @warrenkoles @softbrobarnes @damnitttana @cluelesswolf @moondoggiestyle @blloodorangeisthenewblack @my-nail-beds-suck @frankiecolours @savvylikeyeahhh @lake-effectkidx @justhugharry @casualmisandry @j4ya @galaxygalpals @thesecondwarm @dealwright @knipperdollin @curlycombover @kaspbrakeddie (and if i didnt tag u and u still wanna do this, consider yeself tagged)

[cheekbites-moved]

You asked for questions about Oz/OzLice and you will receive. Why do you like Oz and Alice together and how do you think their relationship developed over time?

u are the most blessed person alive thank u

ill answer the second part first.

how do you think their relationship developed over time?

ozlice isn’t that popular and people have a lot of eye-roll worthy reasons for disliking them, but one i do kinda get is criticism against how alice treats oz in the beginning. like i’ll admit it, she’s really fucking mean. and honestly it’s kinda uncomfortable to re-read certain parts in the beginning cause she really just kinda. treats him bad! you know! i’ll give people that. 

but, you know. as the question mentions, development! sure is a grand ol’ thing, ain’t it. and their development is.. not great at the beginning to so soft i could cry just thinking about certain scenes?? they go from kinda just begrudgingly teaming up because they know they���re out of other options to just loving each other SO MUCH it hurts from here. and it’s so beautiful like wow can’t believe they invented good relationship development and also love.

Why do you like Oz and Alice together?

ozlice is my favorite couple of all time, so i like. love them together v much their relationship is very dear to me. and why kinda correlates to their development as well??

but more so on the way their sorta relationship impacts their individual development. cause they’re kinda the culmination of two people who are better because they’re together?? as cheesy as that sounds, but i mean like.. it’s true lol.

alice starts out as this feisty, smart mouthed little shit who knows what she wants, and she’s not gonna take anyone denying it of her.

oz starts out as this like high energy, peppy kid who seems like he’s so happy all the time!! but he’s not. he is a broken person with deep scars who is constantly fighting off his emotional turmoil with that happy facade because he feels like expressing his negativity would make him a burden.

with alice, oz helps her mellow out of sorts. like she sorta starts out the opposite to oz where she just expresses her emotions fully and unapologetically, and while that’s better than bottling them up like oz does, it’s still not the best way to go about things. and he teaches her how to better harness them. he also leads her to learning how to trust, and to live in the moment since her thing in the beginning is being hung up on her unknown past.

and with oz, alice is the one who finally breaks the walls oz has built up. actually, the moment she does is my favorite moment in the entire series. cause it starts out with oz having A Moment, and leo/elliot who are with him have no idea what the fuck to do, or what’s even going on. and alice just appears out of nowhere and through talking, and attempts to cheer him up by biting/kissing his cheek, is able to finally get it in his head that he’s not a burden for feeling negative sometimes. that she actually wants him to call out to her, to express his emotions to her, so she can help him through it.

and after that, it’s very slow, but he does actually start slowly expressing his emotions more openly. and it culminates to a moment where he lets himself fully cry whenever he needs to. 

and that is all just!! idk!! really beautiful to me. they love each other so much and i swear at certain moments it’s like the love radiates off the page. they support each other, teach each other, and help each other. and it’s.. really, really beautiful. and i am very grateful that im so blessed as to be able to witness their beautiful relationship.

My Coming Out Story.

I was a little girl maybe five years old if not younger when I started feeling weird about or around girls. I use to grow up in the hood on a block called Elliot on the South Side. My Grandmother was well known and helped run a town cheerleading squad called the “Divas” with the help of other moms on the block. I was one of the youngest on the team but I was highly favored. Some of the teammates were always together and playing outside. One day we were playing manhunt and my older cousin Ramona had to watch me. I remember running and hiding and in the process I saw two of the girls on the fire escape on the back of a building kiss and I couldn’t get the image out of my head. In fact I think I might’ve been a little jealous. - Then there was other little things that I can remember from my childhood that happened and made me sure that I was into girls. In kindergarten there was this girl who always use to smile at me and showed me her cartoon underwear and yeah that was a bit weird. I had a life size barbie doll that I use to pretend was my girlfriend. I had a close family friend who I loved as a friend and loved more than a friend her name was Monica. I tried to kiss her once and she told on me. That was quite embarrassing. Oh and how can I forget the time I was in Summer Camp and got pulled into the office for making other girls “feel uncomfortable”. How? Im not too sure how a seven year old girl makes other girls feel uncomfortable at summer camp. Granted, it was a Christian Camp, so theres that. - Last but not least there was the “Westhab Beating”.  My mother, sister, and I lived in a shelter when I was maybe 9-10 years old. There use to be this brother and sister who lived in the apartments on top of ours. They were much older than me. The sister tried to kiss me once and because i refused to she told my mom and my mom beat my ass. That was the first, worst, and last time I have ever got hit by my mom in my life. 

FAST FORWAD. 

Im in middle school in 7th grade specifically. I had a friend named Karina and boy was she beautiful. We weren’t super close or anything but we did talk here and there. One day we were texting and she asked me if I have ever heard the term “Bisexual” and at the time no, no i did not. She told me that she wanted to explore it and asked if thats something I would be interested in. Mind you I had no idea what that meant really but once she said its like dating boys and girls I said sure. She was my first girlfriend and I swore I was in love but it felt natural and I was happy. We were mainly just a middle school relationship. ( You know how that goes). I only saw her at school and we texted 24/7. I probably hung out with her two-three times out of school, of course we were a secret so i was just the “best friend”. Our first kiss was in my bedroom and it swept me off my feet lol I was so nervous But that didn’t last too long obviously. She eventually went back to guys and there I was confused on what to do. 

- Then I met my first REAL girlfriend. Jasmin Alvarado. We met May 29, 2011. Her father was my sisters baseball coach. I have never been to an of my sisters games before but her team was throwing a BBQ which I was dragged to btw. The only reason i sucked it up was because 1.Food and 2. My cousin Noah was coming. So there I was at this BBQ and i see this girl who seems cocky but friendly. She asked if I wanted to play a gam of volleyball with her but little did i know she was this all star Volleyball Player and I was average. We played two games the first was 10-6 and the second 10-8. I couldn’t stop thinking about her, I wanted to get to know her I was hooked. Her and I dated and we were so in love. But i fucked that up (but thats another story for another time).  We decided to tell our parents. I felt as though we should tell her dad first. I was so scared and nervous. I will never forget his response when we told him. He said “She’s not my son in law she’s my daughter in law and i’m happy if you two are happy” and that he loves us. Now it was my turn. Instead of telling my mom I told my aunt who then responded after i told her i was gay with “duh, i know”. Which wasn’t the answer i was looking for but I took it. My “just a phase” became my reality. 

Today I am Proud. I know who I am. I know that theres no love greater than the other because Love is Love. <3

[orpheusmorpheous]

I kinda agree on the missing bullet wound? But i was wondering how long it's been since that shooting? Cause maybe it's healed enough to just be a scar? But you still can't see a scar? I'm thinkin either 1) sam forgot it, 2) it ain't worth showing unless a close-up, 3) it's the lighting, 4) elliot thought it away so we don't see his scars, 5) we mandela'd? Berenstain'd, this elliot didn't get shot in the tummy?

i think its been two months since the shooting, roughly. im guesstimating i dont wanna work out a time line im lazy as FUCK 

idk a bullet wound and then surgery would leave a pretty nasty scar, it takes around 10 years for scars to fade to the point where you can’t really see them. that one is still pretty fresh

there’s so many options to go with, but i think its the lighting. i cant imagine the mr robot team forgetting about a huge aspect that happened with elliot and forgetting to do scar makeup lol

Episode Seven - “It's getting to my head. I need dick. I need DICK” - Dani

Dani

Well Raffy is one clever goose. Wasn't expecting him to get the votes, I think Elliot may have self voted cuz he knew he was going, or everyone else just voted Elliot because they knew he was gonna go since he was inactive? No clue, but good job on Raffy for getting out a number on Blake's side.

Tim

Thanks for Free Rice Jay, I hate it! tara shoutout 2 julia the witch!!! u rock!!! i hope i can get in ur coven and braid everyone’s hair. thabk u again for drafting me

Andreas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhwnrnbfvxs

Tim

So Im a proven comp flop lol but as of now I'm keeping Raffy in the game because he's good at challenges and I'm trying to target other challenge threats because if I can keep all of my allies who are good at challenges then essentially I, a comp flop, gains information or a say in whatever advantage the highest scorer wins. Hopefully we don't attend another tribal any time soon after Raffy's incident.

Rafael

I really wanted to win this challenge to prove to my tribe that I am a necessity to them and that I was true on my word: after Elliot I would try my hardest to win the comp. That's exactly what I did with my score of 100k. I needed to win that advantage. I wanted to keep it out of Blake's grubby little hands. Hopefully it is enough and we do not have to go to tribal. Another reason I pushed myself this hard is because I fear that AnnMarie did not submit. She seemed pretty busy all day, and I am not too sure what's going on. I know that I have about the same score as Lynn and Blake combined. Hopefully that is enough to push us a winners of this challenge.

Tim

We won! Even though GhostMarie didnt submit! (If you're reading this post game im sorry lmao) but woo!!!!

Phoenix

Maybe we could get out Blake, since he lost his vote? 

Lynn

I really wish i had more time to do this challenge b/c i know if i’d had one more hour of free time b/c I know i could’ve gotten that 20k more to win but a girls gotta work 

Rafael

I did that! I'm so proud of myself for finally coming in first in one of these types of challenges. Having to push myself was extremely taxing, but I'm glad that I did. Now I can finally improve these relationships with other people. My relationship with Richie is extremely improved, I believe, at this point. Hopefully I can speak more to Eric tonight so I can have him in my corner for merge. The reason I cancelled Blake's vote is not only because I am targeting him. It is because I want to prove to everyone that I am targeting him. The fact of the matter is that I need people to trust me. Transparency is the key to that. Therefore, I am being extremely upfront with my tribe mates, and hopefully this loyalty can last during the first merge vote. I've already planted seeds, now I need to tend to them.  

Tara

these ppl being messy is the best thing thats ever happened to me

Andreas

I am such a mess. What would Raffy do? WHO COULD POSSIBLY KNOW BUT RAFFY HIMSELF! Turns out, he's a hero who just gives rice to kids. Nice. So now we're at Tribal Council (F12 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah) and it's a big fucking mess. Tara is scared. I want to save Tara. Raffy blocks Blake's vote. Tara is really freaked out. I reach out to Blake, bc I spoke to him a lot, despite "knowing" that he's just lying the entire time. I offer my help - anything I can do to save both Tara and him. He suggests to vote out Phoenix. Me, Tara, Lynn - that's the majority. At the same time, Tara pm's me that Phoenix pm'd her. Blake wants Phoenix and Dani to vote for Tara. Phoenix wants Tara and me to vote Lynn. Because Blake is an easy target once merge hits. EXCUUUUSE ME!? WHAT. THE. HELL. Just vote out Blake now and be done with it. Anyway, if merge hits at F11, Tara, Phoenix, Dani, Eric, Richie and myself NEED to form a majority, because Raffy is just beyond going in at this point. Also: Why is this season called Mohéli when the Tribes are named after towns on Anjouan? What if the "all-new, intriguing and breathtaking" twist is not having a merge at all??? WHAT IF I FINISH IN 12th PLACE aaaaaa 

Tara

soo hopefully i managed to flip the vote off of myself. hopefully. things might change tomorrow! but um basically blake n lynn were being super fake n like were telling me to vote phoenix w andreas, n then they were telling dani n phoenix to vote me! but anyway phoenix confronted me and told me what blake n lynn were saying, so i sent him logs back of lynn telling me to vote him, n then i told lynn that phoenix told me that blake was out to get me! bcos i knew lynn would leak that back to blake. n i thought that blake would get super pissed at phoenix n go after him instead of leaking his plan to me. AND BLAKE DID GET PISSED! and now blakes spent the whole night sucking up to me lol p iconic, n i invited him to a movie so we could just like not talk game bcos i'm over it, and that was fun! but ya i hopeee i last longer than 12th place bcos that'd b a p embarrassing placement.... but um ya who knows!! goodluck 2 me. merge is gonna b super interesting but i think i would at least b able to make jury if i get there so yay lets see!! shoutout to karen!!! i hope we meet eachother out of the game and talk! u have a very cool name, every karen i've ever known has been super cool and friendly, andddd thank u for drafting me!!!! 

Rafael

We are most likely merging after tribal tonight. I feel like I have accomplished what I've set out to do after Bryan was voted out: to build relationships that would help me take down Blake at merge. This NuNuMoya has been really beneficial to my game as I was able to make relationships with people that were not completely under the Blake control. Now I have both Tim, Richie, and probably Eric K on my side. Along with JG and AnnMarie, I am ready to take this merge by storm! 

Blake

Damn Raffy must have a whole lot of nothing going on in his life to have pulled that off XD .This is the least nervous i have felt about a tribal which makes me nervous bc that is when you usually go home. During a blindside. If i get voted out tonight it will be more a semi blindside bc i know my name is being thrown around but in all realization i will still be surprised . As everyone knows Raffy took my vote away for this tribal so i'm a little screwed but i trust my friends and that they will save me tonight. I am coming for you Raffy <3 

But on a serious note i respect you Raffy as a player you are here to win and i respect that. 

Andreas

Jay is standing next to me with a gun in her hand. Help. So, yeah. recap. I am involved in Phoenix' plan via Tara to vote out Lynn. (Me,Phoenix,Tara,Dani vs Lynn 4-1) I am scared AF because I barely talk to Lynn/Dani.

as opposed to Voting out Phoenix to save Tara and Blake. (Me,Tara,Lynn vs Phoenix,Dani 3-2) So, why am I putting my faith into people who I barely know? IDK I AM FEELING LUCKY OKAY!? For all I know, they could've just agreed on putting me to rest as soon as I go to bed. It would be __extremely__ dirty from Tara to blindside me. EXTREMELY! But oh well. I will wake up tomorrow and it won't play "I Got You, Babe." If it does, 12th place is my Groundhog Day and I will cry.

Dani

Okay I’m not gonna sit around and let Jg and his team of apes get their way. IM MAKING A MOVE TONIGHT, expect drama tonight. If this plan works then holy shit this game is about to be flipped upside down.

Dani

HOLY SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST FLIPPED THE VOTE ON ANDREAS LOL. I had to! If he was in the game he could have flipped to JG's side whereas Lynn and Blake have no one except for each other. It's a very easy decision.

Dani

K wtf, The vote flipped to Phoenix?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? UGH Now I'm PISSED. He's one of my closest allies and these motherfuckers really gonna play with me like that? Legit I'm done. Everyone on this tribe is fucking dead to me and there is no way I am going to stick to their side. JG I'm coming for you sister but this time not with claws, but with open arms... I want these hoes on my tribe down. I WANT TO TAKE THEM THE FUCK DOWN.

Dani

K FUCK THIS! FUCK YOU ALL! These fucking clowns! THESE FUCKING CLOWNS BACKSTABBED ME AND IM FUCKING PISSED... GRAWWWWEERRRRRRR. UGH. If they think they can just use me like a cheap whore and throw me away after giving me a good fucking... Oh... They've got another thing coming. Expect Drama sister. EXPECT drama...

Dani

Ugh this game has been putting too much pressure on me! TOO FUCKING MUCH! I haven't had sex in 2 weeks because instead of hanging out with people after school I just come home and do this. TWO WEEKS. It's getting to my head. I need dick. I need DICK, and I need it fast.

[isaacathom]

so im googling the towns the gyms are in so i can add a little more to them and their leaders and uh warrnambools coming up dust. dairy?? the fuck am i going to use with dairy for fuckin jimin??? what am i gonna do with that???? hes a flying boy! whats he got with milktank. like that doesnt actually help me

what ill probably do for him specifically is play up the port angle - warrnambool used to be a big port town, hence that kickass maritime museum (admittedly i was like 10 so maybe its not as kickass as i remember). so you play up that, that has a tie to the wind, so Jimin has relevance. give him a pelipper and hes all good. not sure i ever pictured him for a sailor type but he DID live in the big port city in EC so actually that does track. him and william are both good swimmers. explains why they live in port cities, ya? nicely done. can Mattie swim? probably not.

so actually him being in delivery makes total sense. but i gotta play up the seaward angle because sky delivery was Skyla’s thing, with the planes. he doesnt have planes, per se, but still! boats n shit. trains? oes.... does a train actually run to warrnambool from melbourne? i doubt it. oh, it does, but its one of those booked trains. wild. ok not trains, then. boats dooo seem kinda useless when its on the mainland, BUT if we make the route between it and WIlliam’s joint really long and arduous (which, to be fair, gettin to warrnambool from geelong is goddamn arduous even if great ocean road is a+). actually yea, make the route between those two towns great ocean. that way, it makes SENSE for people to use boats between the two towns/cities/yahea, because its just that little bit more convenient, especially if the winds are on your side. which, if youve got ol Jimin, you’ve got em! its his speciality. nice. plus, if the seas ever bad, and a delivery needs to be made, ya boy is here

this doesnt reallt change anything story wise, since i plan for Jimins city to be a fairly painless affair, to contrast the absolute fuck show Henry is going to force you through PLUS any other mess.

though. i do need to play Small Fry’s a-R FUCK I FORGOT TO GIVE SMALL FRY A NAME. /DAMMIT/. ok listen whatever. ol small fry has to get arrested at some point, BEFORE the player encounters Felicity in the base (but after the player has encountered Felicity in general). s, before the mountain trip. uh..... hmmm..... between sonya and lucienne? beechworths in the middle and it and luciennes town are all about the past, and ol ghosties (though sonyas town also has a nice ghost chunk due to, yknow, The Fires). would be fun for Elliot. thooouuuggggh would elliot be there??? i feel like he needs to be. for his character arc, i mean. hes gotta succeed some time? though he is present for the tower thing, which id argue to more the completion of his arc anyway? or a big point, since he either runs or he stays and that heavily impact his potential reconciliation with Rhia. so i guess he doesnt need to be present during? afterwards absolutely! itd be the build up - hes not present for any of the other Team shit up to that point, and now he finally arrives, late - but its him building up to actually being there. same when he rescues you from the base on the east.

so, the base is in.... beechworth??? well, i say Base. its a throwaway base. itd be really easy. in terms of trainer count, anyway. it SHOULD tip the player off that this isnt the end. its too early, too easy. theres something more. thatll be fun. maybe its on the route between them? somewhere between 6-7, sonya and lucienne. maybe its like.... west of beechworth? an area off of it. just a nice house, like what people live in. idk how youd get involved. maybe through Zeke? or [Sam]? Sam might be a good choice, since this is basically the last time theyll show up before you’ve basically locked in their route (insofar as that route impacts the Tower shit). mb the idea is that Sam meets you there and takes you to buy some of those Fucking Good pastries (no seriously beechworth pastries are really good i strongly recommend it. dunno about like veggie options but the snag roll was heavenly) and while youre outside chatting (getting those sweet convo points to set the route) you notice some grunts running off down the road with a pokemon. and sam, being a goodie, runs after them, and you follow, because its natural to do so (also mandatory because an npc who watched will force you to go if you try to leave lol). so you get to fight through the grunts with sam, and then theyll leave to call the Org/League/Etc. 

and, of course, this completely disrupts the plan for the Org. when they arrive and find you with a beaten Small Fry, who was completely caught off guard by you and soundly whooped, youve thrown a spanner in the works. Small Fry was the initial, easy option for a fall guy re: the legendary thing. youve just gotten them arrested, and the only way to have him still be the fall guy is to have him escape, which would damage the org reputation. so, youve fucked them. hence the escalation from that point to doing shady shit, trying to force Jun’s hand, or Rhia’s hand, or ANYONE’S hand. they could have succeeded at forcing Rhia’s hand if Elliot hadn’t shown up and ultimately given her what she wanted.idk. ooh, Rhia could show up the base, with the idea from the Org being that, of COURSE, you’ll fail to defeat Small Fry and Rhia, being disabled, will be unable to make it in time. of course, she’s more mobile than they think, and you’re a tough cookie, and Rhia makes the arrest. Rhia’s the one who fucks them. OOF, and aybe this is the point where you start getting Team vibes from Rhia. she walks in very calmly, calls Small Fry by his name (WHATEVER THAT NAME IS, god DAMMIT), and when he attempts to use that snark to escape, she stops him very calmly. the relationship is too casual to be coincidence. they’ve got history. but what IS that history? Rhia doesn’t tell you, but she’s got a sly smile. you assume its because shes sided with SF and she’s gonna free him, but shes actually smiling because she’s sabotaging T/O. nicely done. love you, rhia. blows kiss

hmm. yea. then Sam will congratulate you, you get your last mandatory dialogue with Sam prior to the Tower, and off you go, up the road, to Luciennes town and her Ghost gym. i think i like that set up. nice.

Tribal Council #5 - One World

Welcome, everyone, to our one world tribal council where only the Ouani tribe can be voted out.

Eric, Blake, and Elliot, as this is your first tribal council, please dip your torches.

AnnMarie, how important is trust in a tribal council this big? Do you trust anyone who comes to you, or are you skeptical of everyone?

I'm open to all discussions with everybody in a tribal so large. Trust is important, but easy to maintain. To me, you are innocent until proven guilty, and unless you have lied to me, I'm open to any idea you may have. No plan is good or bad, and nobody is truly good and evil in a game like this.

Blake, you had the worst score in the challenge. Do you think this will ultimately put a target on your back? Do you think the strategy is past ‘keep the tribe strong’?

Ultimately I hope my GOD awful score doesn't put a target on my back... but hey who knows they may be thinking about the merge and be like well that kid wont be any competition for individual immunity so lets keep him around. The strategy about keeping the tribe strong I don't know if that is so relevant now bc so many people have formed relationships. But if my tribe still wants a strong team then I may be on the chopping block...

Bryan, how confident are you in the game post-one world? Do you think your position on your new tribe will be solid after all of this round’s drama?

Dani, after getting a strike in the challenge, do you think you’ll be targeted? How do you assure your fellow players that you’ll be active enough to take part in their plans?

Oh Jay... ENOUGH! Enough is ENOUGH IVE HAD IT! I feel like I’m taking CRAZY pills every time you ask me a god forsaken question... anyways. To answer your question. First of all, I didn’t understand the challenge and had no desire to understand it. Second of all, I had to volunteer all day today so I was just not for it. In other words, Yes. I AM ACTIVE ENOUGH.

Elliot, how has the tribe swap influenced game dynamics? Do you feel more solid with your new tribe or with the old? How do you think the game will have changed after this one world tribal?

The tribe swap has definitely changed the game- you get comfortable and then the tribes all swap around. While there are people I trust on both my tribe, and people I don't, for me this vote comes down to who I think has been the most genuine with me, and while that might alienate me from some people that's a risk I'm going to have to take.

Eric, congratulations on attending your first tribal council this late in the game! How do you sus out where the vote is since you don’t have prior experience with tribals? How do you maximize this opportunity to send the right person home?

Thanks for the warm welcome! haha It's kind of exciting to finally be at a tribal council, especially one where I'm immune. I guess it's important to take the time to chat with others, see how they all feel and take the time to understand what's truly going on. This is a very unique opportunity since everybody on the game is here to vote and it can create a unique voting trend.

Andreas, how much do you think old tribal lines and old alliances will influence this vote?

This vote is all about old tribal lines and old alliances. So I think, this will influence the vote for 100%.

JG, there’s no way for a majority alliance to have existed since tribes are currently smaller than the number needed for a majority, so how do votes get determined in a one world tribal? Is there a cohesive voting block, or will it be a heavily split vote?

Honestly, we won't know until tribal. There are so many strong players who want to still be here the next round and with so few people to be voted its gonna make for a interesting tribal .... I also think this has the potential to shake up any pre-existing shiz. .... oh and hi lynn

Lynn, after the drama between you and JG last round, do you think that animosity will come to a head as you’re one of the people who could potentially be eliminated?

Um the animosity is most definitely coming to a head. I mean even now everyone can obviously see JG doesn’t know how to keep my name from out of his messages to the gc so far. there’s no way you can stop people from believing what they want and JG is obviously coming after me so we’ll see what happens.

Phoenix, what do you think of Tara’s decision to make one world happen?

I mean, I know she was in a rush and people wanted it to happen, so it happened. I don't blame her or anything haha

Raffy, as the numbers dwindle down, how do you set yourself up to be in a good position for the merge?

You be social and hope to god people are being truthful. I want to trust people, but this is Survivor. Trust only goes as far as the things backing up that trust. When people vote together, you trust them. However, things can shift dramatically within the span of one tribal. I don't know how to set myself up for merge, but I pray to god that I am doing all that I can

Richie, my question to you is as simple as it is classic: what will you be basing your vote on tonight?

what will i be basing my vote on tonight???? well i'm safe and so is everyone on our tribe so my stake in this vote is hopefully going to make a proactive move that will help make the next vote i'm not safe at a little bit more manageable?????????

Tara, let us in on the logic behind putting the one world tribal in place. Do you think this will help you seem MORE or LESS trustworthy long term?

umm i honestly was just like walking down a rly busy corridor and i was stressing bcos i had to answer quick bcos i had already kept ppl waiting like 20 minutes so i asked in the tribe chat what ppl wanted n ya here we are. umm i honestly don't know what ppl will think of this! i hope they take the time to make new friends and have fun and not stress too much.

Tim, on a scale of 1-10, how rat-like/snake-like is this game? Do you feel you’re playing with trustworthy people, or are you constantly watching your back?

On a scale of one to 10 I'd have to rate the game as of now as a 6. There ARE snakes somewhere because they are inevitable. However, there are different types. You have your garden snake, small and sneaky but common and mostly harmless when they bite. Your Phythons, the big bad snakes who think they're running the show but their fangs hold no venom. They are only deadly one you've came within their ever so "trusting" grip, but from a distance, they are spottable if you know what you are looking for. Finally you have your Black Mambas. NOW these snakes... are deadly asf. You may not even see them coming but once they bite your life in the game is up. I'd advise that you stay as far away as possible from this breed but their camoflage leaves you unable to know who or where they are.

I feel as though everyone is trustworthy but the extent at which they are varies depending on the context of the situation as well as your previous trust.

I’ll read the votes.

[isaacathom]

id also like a third character to be affected by your choices. i consider rhia/elliot to be one ‘character’ in the sense that their outcomes are tied together - you effect them both, not just the individual. then theres your rival, with them possibly joining the Team. thing is, i cant realllly think of a third character that could fit this sort of idea. i COULD maybe play with the champion? but she wasnt going to be big, she was just gonna turn up a few times, doing good, yknow. helps arrest dante at the end when he attempts to flee after you kick his ass. maybe a few other times. though i could have it be that she actually is connected to the Org (but NOT the Team). so she’s basically there whenever its Big Police time. she helps out whenever theyre doing big arrests, she responds to disasters, she’s an honorary member. but how that’d tie into YOUR decisions??? idk. 

another alt was the Professor, but the issue is that, again, having your decisions affect her doesnt really make sense. PLUS, due to her being close friends with Elliot, it’d make far more sense for any changes to her coming through Elliot - like, her reacting differently if Elliot is e4 vs if Rhia is e4. especially since she knows about Seren (and also knew her, hence why Elliot told her about the thing), itd make far more sense to add her into the more developed rhia/elliot routes and not have her own. because then its like. real fucking tangled, dude. even with the two ‘routes’ currently, as in, Rhia/Elliot and Rival, the amount of variables in the ONE scene is fucking mental. theres whether its reconcile or split (since its actually the culmination of the route), THEN theres whether your rival is Enemy, Neutral, or Friend. if Enemy, they will appear as a member of the Team and beat you up. if theyre neutral, they will not be present. if theyre Friend, they will be there with you and Elliot fighting off team. so thats, what, SIX different outcomes???? SIX versions of the same scene? fuck. god. holy shit. so the idea of having the Prof with a separate route that would also get tangled with the rhia/elliot thing is mental. plus, i like the idea of a route thats separate from this basically Mini Plot. something wholly unrelated. 

maybe something really minor. a couple of minor characters who you see regularly. maybe its like..... a group of trainers from out of the region, like basically a bunch of young adults coming over to [Victoria] on a holiday who you meet when you first reach [Melbourne] and you see them constantly, you can hang out with them, they could have a side event where you all go explore a haunted house together. fuck. that actually sounds really fun. like, ooh, alright. so you meet them in the big city, a big bunch of friendly foreigners (a few loud, a few quiet, yknow), they ask directions and have a chat and they wave you on your way. you meet them again later, they meet up and give you like, some pokeballs for showing them where the pokemon centre was. you’ll get some dialogue options, nothing major, where you can ask where they’re all from, why theyre here, yknow. no real choices. though maybe how you react to each of their reasons will influence the group score. like, one of them would be a nerdy kid, whose reason for coming was because ‘they wanted to see all the new flora’ (not pokemon because lol fucking try me lads im not doing fakemon) and you can say ‘wow nerd’ or ‘thats really cool!’ and the former would subtract points and the latter would add points. really small stuff.

you have this sorta thing happen a few times. you see them all the time. theyre basically there every single town you go to. you dont see them at all in the big Team/Org finale. they dont get involved in any of the main plot stuff. they are wholly tangential and after your first encounters with them you can just fucking ignore em. loses points, obv, but yknow. now, either the haunted house happens before the team thing or after. im thinking before - a moment of optional levity before ~story shit~, right. this’d be where BIG group points are. while youre in there, you can pull pranks, you can knock stuff over to scare some of them, or you can be super straight faced, you can soothe the ones who get spooked, like. you decide how to treat them about this. it might be case by case, like one character might really enjoy being startled (on some level, anyway) and you gain points, another character might burst into tears and run out of the house if you jump them, losing points, etc. its just you and a bunch of a friends in a big house. sorta like, oh god, wasnt there a haunted house in bw2? sorta like that, in that theres a specific linear path through the house, but along the way, you get little detours, you can interact with them, its just good fun. get a lot of points.

after the team climax, you PROBABLY still have a gym to go (+ the [Melbourne] badge if you skipped it by fighting Rhia earlier). you get to that next town, the group immediately mobs you, asking questions. youll get a few choices here, like you can tell em to fuck off (nice going, asshole), losing a shit ton of points but one of them will go ‘that bad, huh? aight’ and theyll all back off. you can tell them the truth, or you can ~embezzle~ it, have some fun. they’ll love it. theyre a bunch of fun jokesters. they’ll probably check at the end like ‘wow, really?’ and if you say ‘nah totally false’ theyll be sorta peeved, but if you say ‘wellllll most of it’ theyll go ‘aw, sweet’ and theyll each decide what they believe. smth like that.

their route probably culminates when you reach the elite 4. you reach the champions village (for lack of better term, because i really like the idea of there being a small town built around the Pokemon League, if for no other reason than to act as housing for the e4 and champ), and the groups there again. sorta lost for ideas here specifically. like, if youve been as ass, theyll be laughing, having fun, then react to you coming and going ‘oh... hey... here to challenge the league yeh?’ ‘yea’ ‘well. good luck?’ and then thatll basically be it. a few of them might not even talk to you. like just total silence. but if youve been nice, youve been friendly, theyll greet you really excited, they’ll give you an item, might even take you to their ‘new spot’ - a little grove off the village you can easily find yourself, but its past the point where you see them, yknow. so they take you there and theyll take a big picture with you and wish you luck. like itd just be big warm fun.

they might also have a ‘neutral’ route, sorta like your rival, where theyll greet you and give you an item but wont take you to the grove. they MIGHT appear after you beat the e4, but their route wouldnt really progress from there. or, maybe, an idea - if you treat them like shit, after you beat the e4, they leave. completely. theyve all gone home. theyll leave with a slightly bitter taste in their mouths. but if you treat them nice, or even just with some basic respect, theyll stick around and keep sightseeing after you beat the e4. they dont even remotely interact with the other routes at all. theyre totally separate, just having a good time. good good vacationing children. i like this.

oh dude the funnest part about this whole Stanton-Zhang family is that when Rhia is like, legally revealed to not be Rhia.

the police (possibly international, idk) are questioning the family, figuring out if this is some sort of identity fraud. like ‘Patrick Stanton, are you aware of a woman claiming to be your daughter by your first wife?’ ‘Rhia? yea.’ ‘well, is she?’ ‘uh, no. but she is like family to us.’ ‘wait, what. so youre in on it?’ ‘oh, yea! my sister in law Bronwyn and her family brought her over for a holiday and we had a long discussion about her situation and how we could help. we offered to have her fill that role’ ‘soo.... you DONT have a daughter by your first wife?’ ‘nope.’ ‘........ so shes just a fake person?’ ‘pretty much? but she is functionally family. we adopted her in all but legal terms’ ‘...........’

the police are very confused, needless to say. they go to Bronwyn and Jun. ‘so, uh, the fucks up with Rhia?’ ‘well, Jun found her knocked out in the Team base and took her with him to ensure she was safe-’ ‘wait he took her?’ ‘well, yes, i didnt know if someone would come back for her and was worried she’d end up badly injured as a result of that wait time, or that she might wake up alone and get lost in the desert’ ‘.... right.... go on’ ‘so we took her home and looked after her and she explained her situation, being an orphan and basically relying on that Elliot fellow-’ ‘the ex elite 4 member?’ ‘yea, that guy. and shes talking about how he left her for dead in the base-’ ‘what?’ ‘youd have to ask Rhia and Elliot. but we heard her story and, well, we’d grown close to her over her time with us, so we thought, maybe we could adopt?’ ‘so then why didnt you?’ ‘welllllllll we were worried Elliot would come looking for her if we properly adopted her, PLUS it had been like, two weeks since she went missing, so if we suddenly appeared with her itd look really bad-’ ‘it already looks pretty bad from here’ ‘we know, sir. so we decided instead of adopting her as Seren, we’d.... yknow..... pull in a favour. work something out so she could stay with us as someone else’ ‘and you used the Team?’ ‘no shit. i mean, i WAS an admin. i basically talked to Dante - that guy you arrested, the big one, not the kid - and we... made arrangements’

‘alright, Seren. the fucks up with this?’ ‘with what?’ ‘this whole ‘Rhia Stanton’ thing.’ ‘oh. well, i was staying with Elliot for a few days, a sort of field trip from the orphanage, go fight some gyms sorta deal. and Elliot had that Team raid, and i begged to come along, so i ended up going. and when we got in, we got jumped by a team of grunts. after a scuffle, i managed to free Elliot, at which point he.... yknow.... fucking bolted.’ ‘what’ ‘oh, sorry, he fled like a coward, better?’ ‘.....’ ‘and then the grunts beat me up. woke up in Juns house, he explained stuff, i stayed with them awhile, rest is history’ ‘miss, thats what we want to know’ ‘well, ok. at this point id been missing arrroooouuund two weeks, and Elliot had been blatantly lying about the circumstances. BLATANTLY. saying oh, he left me in bed and went to the raid and i was gone in the morning, fat lot of shit-’ ‘miss’ ‘so i thought, i cant trust him. but if i go to the police, ill probably have to confront him, and id probably lose in the public opinion, because ~everyone~ trusts in Elliot, and they wouldnt trust me.’ ‘are you sure?’ ‘well, at the time, definitely. with hindsight, maybe not. at the time, i was positive dealing with him would be more trouble than it was worth, and thatd he’d basically never leave me alone if i reappeared. and i... didnt want to see him again, yknow? so, i talked to Jun and Bron and their daughter Lyndelle, trying to figure something out.’ ‘and thats when you concocted this Rhia Stanton thing?’ ‘oh, no, that came a little later. see, the family had already planned, for a while, a trip to Unova to see some other family. and they thought, ok, theyll bring me along, and theyll discuss it with THEIR family there’ ‘how did you get out of [Victoria]? you didnt have a passport’ ‘uhhh. honestly? no fucking clue’ ‘miss’ ‘Jun basically handled it, as far as i know. called in a favour with the Team, yknow, asked them to mock up an id thatd get me to Unova, and then we’d work from there. i dyed my hair, wore big sunhats, off we went! THEN we made up Rhia Stanton’ ‘...........’ ‘what?’ ‘why didnt you go to the authorities?’ ‘given that, at the time, the authorities were the Organisation and i thought they were firmly in Elliots camp, given the whole raid collab thing, i wasnt trusting those fuckers-’ ‘miss’ ‘as far as i could throw them. then, yknow, turned out they were Team, but i didnt know that, and Jun didnt exactly ~tell~ me that at the time. no need, i suppose. was still no guarantee they’d have taken my side. given how EASILY they let go of my case, i fucking doubt it. fiiiirmly in elliots pocket to curry public favour. wasnt having it’

the police come together ‘what the fuck do we do about this?’ ‘well, the family ARE willingly giving up this information AND ‘Rhia’ and Jun are acting as informants on the Team....... we could let this go’ ‘but its like, supppppper illegal’ ‘but they were all in on it. they wanted her to be in their family but didnt want to involve Elliot. remember, he was basically her guardian at the time’ ‘i GUESS? still illegal’ ‘but they ARE informing on proper criminals doing malicious crime, rather than something that at least had good intentions. not like she committed tax fraud. the only people who have touched Seren’s accounts are her family from Johto taking all of her inheritance. doubt ‘Rhia’ has seen a penny of that, somehow’ ‘...... sure, fine, say we let her off. what do we do about the fact she exists twice?’ ‘...... shit’

in the end they end up partially merging the Seren and Rhia files and removing any blatant lies, like her Unovan ancestry. with some tweaking, they legally adopt her to the Stanton family (Patrick and Eira), thus allowing her to keep her illegally gained Unovan citizenship (based on the fact Patrick and Eira were wholly open to the idea of legally adopting her if it would help, and simply didnt because the Org expedited the process through illegal means). they probably remove her Johto citizenship through her ‘mother’ (Patricks first wife), since as Seren, she hadnt gotten that citizenship through descent anyway (given her parents were both Johto natives who renounced and became [Victorians lads]). they basically just wipe it clean. they give her the OPTION of informing her blood family of what happened. she says fucking go for it. publicise it. publicly wrap the case on my disappearance. im not going to seek them out. in the end, her blood family MIGHT seek contact. the only real connection she would have is being able to claim her inheritance from her dead parents BACK from her blood family (who, as you’ll recall, took that inheritance from Seren’s account after she was presumed dead). whether Rhia would actually go for it? no idea. probably couldnt be assed. given shes basically disowned that section of her life, it doesnt really bother her much.

tl;dr the police are really confused by this seemingly good intentioned act of some sort of identity fraud and in the end dont pursue charges and just sorta....... let it go.......... i mean yea she WAS a criminal but it was blackmail/extortion in terms of being in the Team, she was consistently anti-Team, and shes informing on them and helping personally fuck them over, so, like..... if she didnt harm anyone, who cares, lol.
